All language subtitles for Sunshine by My Side episode 11 [iQIYI]

[English subtitles are available]

Dad.

Are you watching the fishes?

No.

I'm watching the fishes.

Dad.

You have back problems.

Don't sleep on the sofa.

Go sleep in my room.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

Are you kidding me?

You fool.

You have to work tomorrow.

You must be tired from working all day.

I'm not tired.

I can sleep here.

Be good. Go sleep in your room.

Don't mind me.

I'm used to it.

Fine. I'll clean the table.

You don't need to do that.

Just leave it be. I'll do it.

I'll put the dishes in the sink.

Gosh.

It's fine.

Just leave it be.

Put them down.

Put your hands down

or I'll put my hands on you.

I'll just put them in the sink.

Just a few dirty dishes. Not the end of the world.

Go to sleep.

Dad.

Are you really okay?

I'm fine.

Go to sleep.

If you got anything to say to me…

Fine. I'll go.

Dad.

If you want to talk,

come to me anytime.

I have nothing to talk about.

Go to bed.

Dad, I…

Anyway, tell your boss

that it was you who came to me with this project.

If you're replaced,

I'll call it quits.

What a beautiful day.

Why another day?

There's no time like the present.

Hurry up.

I'd like to have steamed buns for breakfast.

Will you be paying or shall I?

I'm fine either way.

You'll be paying.

Take your time.

Ready when you are.

Dad.

Is Mom all right?

You're worried about her?

Of course I am.

Fine.

Go express your concern.

Are you done?

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's been long since we went out together.

Before you graduated from middle school,

I worked the night shift every day so that I could pick you up during the day.

You need to be grateful.

Close the door.

Dad.

Yesterday, the two of them

just sat together and had a little chat.

It didn't mean anything.

Says someone who's never been in a relationship before.

Watch this.

Wait.

What are you going to do?

Hey, what would you like to have?

Are you a pervert?

Sorry.

Stop laughing.

Did you see it?

What are you doing?

If a girl

lets you hold her hand,

it means she has feelings for you.

If she hates you,

she'll pull her hand back immediately.

Yesterday,

for ten minutes,

Luo Meijuan grinned ear to ear.

Dad.

Should I move out?

Although my salary is not high,

after working for so many years,

I've saved some money.

I've worked for so long

and should've moved out a long time ago.

I've found a place.

It's near my working place

and the rent is cheap.

I can afford it.

I just think

maybe after I move out,

you two can have your own space

and won't fight again.

I know.

Every time Luo Meijuan gets mad,

she complains about

you living with us.

But if you really move out,

she'll definitely kick up a fuss

and do whatever she needs to do

to get you back.

With you living with us,

you can mediate between us.

To be honest,

it's not that you haven't grown up

and can't leave us

but that Luo Meijuan hasn't grown up

and can't do without you.

She can't accept the fact

that you can live on your own now.

To put it bluntly,

it's like you're weaned

but Luo Meijuan isn't yet.

Besides,

her menopause

is making her elated one second

and depressed the next.

When people our age

have a row,

we point at each other

and yell at the top of our lungs

the most hurtful things

we can think of.

With you around,

things are different.

We don't need to snap at each other.

You can snap at me, right?

When you're with us,

she can't hurt me

and I can't hurt her.

That's why you should stay with us.

Think about Ms. Qiao who lives next door.

Her children are all abroad

and only come back every two or three years.

She doesn't even have someone to quarrel with.

If you really want to move out,

there is only one way.

Find a girlfriend.

I knew you'd say that.

When that happens,

your mother

will surely throw you a parade

and see you off with a big smile.

Besides,

no matter how cheap the rent is, it's several thousand yuan per month.

If your mom knows you waste money like that,

she'll hit the ceiling immediately.

Stop talking about me. Her issue is with you.

What are you going to do

with this matter?

It depends on Luo Meijuan.

We can stay married if she wishes.

But if she doesn't,

I won't force her.

Have more buns.

Don't worry about that.

Hurry.

Eat.

Have you gotten the client's reply?

Yes.

He's not satisfied with the video

and wants us to make changes?

Then we have to make changes,

don't we?

You said that clients are always right

and we're just their humble servants.

What on earth is wrong with this video?

He says that the rhythm is fine

but different from what he expected.

Can he just tell me what he expects?

Why doesn't he mail his head

to me

so that I can tear it open

and find out what he's thinking?

He couldn't make himself clear

and just kept talking rubbish

and giving me attitude.

I'm so done with him.

Alright. Calm down.

What should we do now?

I don't know.

Show me the video.

Look.

What's wrong with it?

I think it's great.

It is great.

What should we do now?

You have to re-edit it.

How about

I make a call to Jian Bing?

Hold on.

Are you crazy?

Listen.

The best ex-husband is a "dead" one.

She'd rather you stay "dead".

I know.

You used to do the editing with her

and she'd give you advice.

But now you have to get used to doing it without her.

She's not around to help anymore.

Hello.

You look like a greeter.

Hello.

This way, please.

Please come in.

Nice to meet you, Director. This way.

I'm Song Chen.

Nice to meet you too.

Shut up.

Ignore him.

This way.

Yang.

Why don't you introduce us?

She's my client, not my friend!

Ms. Jian, I love the ads you made.

I've watched every one of them.

Really?

Have you watched the latest one?

Yes.

The one selling instant noodles.

I think it's great.

It works up an appetite.

He's so interesting.

It's knives.

The one with a big knife?

Go back to work.

Do you need this?

Yes.

Won't you thank me?

I'm really sorry.

Not everyone in this company is a weirdo like him.

This way.

Director, this way please.

Morning.

Hello.

Morning.

Hello, Director.

Morning. Have a seat.

Morning, Mr. Yu.

Hello.

No problem.

Director Jian.

This is the contract

we've mutually agreed on.

Take a look.

You can sign it if you're all right with it.

Okay.

I'll keep this one.

Okay.

It's great to work with you.

It's great to work with you.

I understand what you mean. I really do.

I just want to ask her what she thinks

about this video.

Maybe she can inspire me.

She's busy

with her new project now.

Don't disturb her.

What project?

Don't ask. It's none of your business.

Tell me.

What can I do?

Let me help you.

You?

What's wrong with me?

You're not in a place to be picky.

You should be grateful that I'm willing to help.

It's Mr. Chen.

Be quiet.

Hello, Mr. Chen.

Xue.

You're supposed to send me the video today.

You didn't reply to my messages.

I know.

Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry.

I need to go on a business trip today.

I'm on the plane right now.

Business trip?

Don't lie to me.

Why would I lie to you?

How about tonight?

I'll send you the video tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our plane is about to take off.

Please make sure your seat belt is securely fastened

and your phone is turned off or in airplane mode.

Sir.

Sorry.

Please turn off your phone.

Our plane will take off soon.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Mr. Chen.

Did you hear that?

She asked me to turn off my phone.

I'll turn my phone off now

and call you back after the plane lands.

Awesome! You really sounded like a flight attendant.

What should we do now?

He's called to demand the video.

Can you really send him the video tonight

or were you just lying?

I said tonight.

It can be eight in the evening

or three in the morning.

As long as I don't sleep,

I can send it over tonight.

Sit down. Where are you going?

Re-edit the video.

I don't know how.

How did you and Jian Bing use to find inspiration?

Just by watching lots of videos.

Both home and abroad.

Movies.

Short videos.

Things like that.

Lights off. Drinks in our hands.

Sometimes she could think of something.

Sometimes I could.

Then we could resume editing.

I wonder

what kind of video she's making now.

I can drink with you.

It's just drinking.

We can drink as much as you want.

I drink like a fish.

Drinking is not the point, okay?

I just want to help you find inspiration.

Fine.

Where are you going?

I'm going to watch videos.

You'll drink with me.

I'll try to find inspiration.

Director.

These are the initial conceptual drawings

we created for the brand.

There are also storyboard descriptions.

Sheng Yang made all of them.

Director, do you have anything

you want to add?

It's good.

You did a great job.

But I think

although it's a makeup product,

it shouldn't be exclusively

targeted towards young women.

I saw the words on the first page

of the slide show.

Yeah.

The customer demand concept

is that beauty is a right and freedom.

In ads from the last century,

women's image

was often overly simplified.

They were either depicted

as wives or mothers.

So I think our project

should

challenge that stereotype.

I hope

we can approach it

by having more than one character

to show the beauty

of women of different ages

and from different backgrounds.

I see.

We'll make modifications

according to what you just said.

Director.

Your coffee.

Thank you.

You look very tired.

Did you not sleep well last night?

I look tired?

Yes.

Don't tell me

you didn't sleep well

because you were nervous

about meeting me and submitting the proposal.

That's not the case.

I doubt that.

Your eyes are red

and you're not active today.

I'll give you one more chance.

What's bothering you?

My parents

are probably splitting up.

They had a big fight last night.

Over what?

You don't have to answer.

My dad

thinks my mom is having an affair.

Really?

Do you think what he said is true?

Of course not.

That's enough.

All couples fight.

They'll be fine in a few days.

Yes.

I understand.

I just hate them

speaking of divorce so casually

as if it's a weapon

they can use

to hurt each other.

Since I was a kid,

they've talked about getting divorced.

I believed it when I was young.

I thought I'd have to

choose between my dad and mom.

I'd even braced myself for that moment.

I waited and waited.

But they didn't get divorced.

No.

They quarreled and then made up.

I think that they're like two kids.

No matter how bad their fights are,

they won't get divorced.

Having fights means they still care.

If they really want to split up,

they won't even bother to fight.

I just think if they

can communicate effectively,

there's no need

to resort to divorce.

Sorry.

It's too early. I wasn't thinking.

It's okay.

I don't think getting divorced

is a bad thing.

Getting married is for happiness.

So is getting divorced.

I see.

Then I'll tell my parents to get divorced.

Okay.

I know what you mean.

They care for each other

and can't live without each other.

But

if they use such a hurtful way

to express love,

no matter how deeply they love each other,

their marriage won't last for long.

Then tell them to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

I did.

I've said that countless times since I was young.

But my mom is so hot-tempered

that when she gets angry,

my dad can't control her.

Why control her?

Your dad should try to understand her and comfort her.

Yeah, when women get angry,

men usually think they're not being reasonable.

But you know what?

When a woman has to vent her anger,

she's not just being whimsical.

Her pent-up disappointment

and frustration

must have reached a point

where she has to let them out.

Okay.

I see.

My dad is at fault.

He obviously is.

But there's nothing much I can do.

You weren't there

when they fought last night. It was pretty bad.

It seems that they're serious this time.

In your opinion,

how old should the actor

in the last part

of your proposal be?

Around 50?

I got it.

Got what?

The solution to the problem.

Let's go.

Where?

Your parents' house.

My parents' house?

Hello, Yuan.

Hey, Director.

It's on short notice

so only part of my film crew managed to come.

Let me introduce them.

Yuan, the photographer who I've worked with for years.

Lin, the lighting guy.

The wardrobe girl.

Dai, the sound engineer.

Ma Ruyi, the focus puller.

And the art director.

Nice to meet you.

Hurry. Show us the way.

Thank you for coming.

This way.

It's okay.

This way.

Be careful. The floor is slippery.

Okay.

Are you sure it'll work?

Facing the camera

will definitely make my parents nervous.

When they're nervous,

it'll be harder for them to say what they think.

Do you know how many people I've interviewed these years?

From old people in their seventies

to children under ten.

I've found

that when people are nervous,

caught unawares,

or facing strangers,

it's easier for them to speak their minds.

This neighborhood

is so lively.

I should've worn my work clothes.

I thought I was just going to

sign the contract with your company.

My parents live up there.

The seventh floor.

The apartment facing the stairs.

The seventh floor?

The seventh floor.

Is there no elevator?

Sorry. No elevator.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's fine.

Sorry.

The seventh floor.

I'm really sorry.

Thank you.

I've never brought a girl home before,

let alone to meet my parents.

Really?

You brought several girls home this time.

Do you remember what my dad looks like?

Can you recognize him when you see him?

I did my homework on my way here.

Then why did you say

you don't remember what happened ten years ago?

I don't.

I checked the files in my computer.

Your dad was quite humorous.

Someone's at the door.

Someone's at the door!

Hello.

Coming.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Dad.

Yang.

Let me introduce you.

This is Director Jian Bing,

the advertisement director I've been working with recently.

These are her colleagues.

Hello, Mr. Sheng.

Do you remember me?

You were very nervous back then

and I told you to take the camera

as your son's eyes.

That advertisement is the highlight of my life.

You were the director!

Now you remember her.

Well,

Meijuan.

Come here.

The great director is here.

You flatter me.

Come here.

Who's it?

Who's here?

Mom.

They're …

Yang.

She's the director

who interviewed me

and shot the commercial for me.

Hello, Director.

Hello, Director.

Yang, what are they here for?

They want to shoot a commercial here.

Here in our house?

Mom,

why don't we let them in first?

Come on in.

Please come in.

Sorry for the disturbance.

Come in, please.

You're very welcome here.

Come on in.

Be careful with the equipment.

Come in.

Don't hit anything.

I'll go get you some water.

It must be heavy.

Yang, be careful.

Be careful with them.

Take a seat. Don't stand.

Here, Director.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Make yourselves

at home.

You said you want to shoot an ad here.

What kind of ad?

It's my idea

to come uninvited.

We plan to shoot

a realistic commercial

for a makeup product.

We won't hire any professional actors.

The ad will feature

a loving couple in real life.

So

we'll not only shoot the ad here

but also need you two to come in front of the camera.

Dad, Mom.

I signed up for you.

I showed the director your photo

and she thinks you look great together

and are very suitable for this ad.

She hopes

you can just be yourselves

so I didn't tell you in advance.

I talked with Sheng Yang later

and found that you were in the ad I made ten years ago.

So I guess it's destined.

You two are the most suitable actors for this ad.

But it's a makeup advertisement

and you came out of the blue.

We didn't even change.

Are you sure we'll look good on camera?

It doesn't matter if we look good on camera.

The problem is that we're not a loving couple.

Few couples at our age

are loving.

It's already a miracle that we haven't strangled each other.

Mr. Sheng, you're still so humorous.

Actually,

we're on a tight budget this time.

Could you please

do me and Sheng Yang a favor?

Please.

That's no problem.

You don't need to pay us.

I know his company.

A limited company where everything is limited.

The budget is always limited

and extremely limited on the payday.

I understand.

Thank you for your understanding.

It's a simple ad.

You don't even need to look at the camera.

Just answer a few questions

and sit in a relaxed manner.

But we're so casually dressed.

Do you think

we'll look terrible on camera?

Don't worry.

I've brought professional makeup artists

and beautiful clothes for you.

I assure you that you'll look great.

Shall I sit here?

Sit down.

Sit.

I don't think it's a good idea.

It's too messy here.

This is exactly the backdrop we want.

Look.

Here?

Yeah.

Mrs. Sheng isn't ready yet.

Let's talk for a while first.

Are you sure you need me for a makeup ad?

Of course.

You're the beneficiary.

With makeup on,

your wife will be a pleasant sight at home

and do you proud when you go out with her.

No.

That's so vain.

That's gilding the lily.

The camera is not on, is it?

No.

Not yet.

We'll start when Mrs. Sheng comes.

Madam, you look great in this.

Are you sure? I think…

Should I fold the sleeves this way or…

You look good either way.

Come. Sit down. Let them do your hair.

You look great.

Really?

You look amazing.

The director says you look amazing.

I'm not used to all this.

You look great.

Mom.

Look at my dad.

Mr. Sheng.

He looks good on camera.

Why do you think it's vain of women to wear makeup?

Look.

I know what she looks like.

We've been living together for so long.

I can point the freckles on her face

even with my eyes closed.

Then when do you think your wife looks the prettiest?

When she cooks in the kitchen.

Did you hear him?

He said I'm the prettiest when cooking.

What does that mean?

The kitchen is right here.

He's praising you.

One day, she saw an old woman

downstairs

who was picking up trash

and eating a piece of bread.

She stopped what she was doing

and brought that lady a glass of water.

At that moment, I thought

I was very lucky

to have married such a woman.

You felt grateful.

Yeah.

When she was young,

she was the prettiest girl

in her class.

Really?

Did she have a lot of suitors?

Yes.

They could line up from the dormitory to the canteen.

So many boys.

Imagine bees around a jam pot.

Then why do you think

Mrs. Sheng saw in you?

What did I see in you?

She was too proud.

She gave her every admirer the cold shoulder

and only I stuck it out.

I didn't throw money at her.

You know? That's superficial.

Of course, I didn't have the money.

You didn't.

What I could do

was stay by her side.

After staying with her for so long,

do you think

she's

happy with you?

I don't know if she was happy in the past.

But recently,

she's not happy.

Why?

I'm not

a materialistic person.

She's different.

She thinks it's stingy of me

to prevent her from shopping.

You are stingy.

Since we got married,

I haven't bought anything for myself.

My watch

was a gift from her

when we got married.

My phone,

my son bought it for me.

You see?

My clothes.

I only have two changes of clothes.

I keep wearing them

like an endless cycle.

Dad is funny.

I won't buy new ones until they're worn out.

You're so funny.

We don't have

much money.

We need to support four parents.

Fortunately, we only have one son.

My father-in-law was in the hospital a while ago.

The imported medicine cost hundreds of yuan per pill.

I couldn't even buy ten pills with one month's salary.

Luckily, we have savings, otherwise,

he wouldn't have made it through.

Anyway, I have only myself to blame.

If I had studied hard when I was young

and found a decent job,

I wouldn't be like this now

and could've provided

a better life for my wife and son.

Just for the record,

I'm not saying my job is not decent.

My job is fine.

Do you know why I chose this job?

It's related to your profession.

When I was young,

I watched a film.

It was so many years ago that I've forgotten

its name and plot.

But I remember a line that goes like,

"The little monster wants to eat rubbish!"

It was a cartoon

about a little monster

who got energy from eating rubbish

and helped many children.

That's why I'm doing this job.

It's all work.

It's good

to serve others.

So eloquent.

Very eloquent.

How do you like my haircut?

It's clean and neat.

Every day,

I make myself look clean

and then make the city clean.

It's good.

So,

despite

all that

you've said,

if you were

in a better financial condition,

if you could afford it,

would you buy beautiful clothes

and cosmetics

for your wife

to make her look good?

Yes.

Luo Meijuan

deserves someone better than me.

She's been through a lot

after marrying me.

Mom, why are you crying?

Now I understand.

For us to be a happy family,

we need

to make her happy first.

Stop crying.

When will we start shooting?

When will we start shooting?

She's almost done.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me fix your makeup.

Let me see.

Let me fix your makeup.

You've ruined your makeup.

Fix your makeup.

Okay.

Hurry. Find your inspiration.

Have you found any?

I want you here to help me find inspiration

but you keep talking to me now and then.

How can I focus on the film?

Can you be quiet?

Fine. I'll shut up.

The last time we watched a movie together,

we watched it in a class in high school.

What was the movie's name?

Pride and Prejudice.

You didn't watch it.

Are you sure?

I don't remember that.

You never remember anything.

I remember

you were a tough girl back then.

But now you're

much more feminine.

This transition is great.

We can use it.

What is a transition?

You don't even know that?

I'm ignorant. I didn't finish high school. Happy now?

Sorry.

Transitions

in films and videos

are the changes

from one space to another

or one scene to another.

Don't give me that.

Is that how you make girls fall for you?

Is that how

you won Jian Bing's heart?

Aren't you the same?

You're good at seducing men,

aren't you?

With high heels

and tights on.

Wearing perfume

and throwing yourself at them after getting drunk.

Let me tell you.

The reason why we can

be friends for so many years

is because we're birds of a feather

and like-minded.

We're peas in a pod.

Do you have to be so annoying?

We're not birds of a feather.

Watch it yourself.

I'm leaving.

Wait.

You

need to be taught a lesson.

You're drunk.

No.

You are drunk.

I'm sober.

Do you know…

I do.

You've had feelings for me since middle school.

Then do you know…

I do.

We're the same.

We never love anyone for too long.

We play the field

and fall in love easily.

Are you a dog in heat?

Did you think about the consequences before kissing me?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm speechless.

Listen.

What happened just now didn't mean anything.

Don't take it to heart.

Okay.

Keep it between us

and take it to the grave.

To the grave.

Don't you dare breathe a word.

I wouldn't dare.

You can't

blame all that on me.
